Engineering
Consisting of the Engineering Project Management, Engineering & Commissioning, and Inspection groups, the Engineering team consists of civil engineers, mechanical engineers, electrical engineers, architects, landscape architects, and control engineers to support the campus and DCM with the overall capital program.
Engineering Project Management
Our Engineering Project Management (EPM) team provides project management for engineering, infrastructure, and site work development projects ranging from $2 million to $40 million in size. See the Engineering featured projects.
Engineering & Commissioning
Our Engineering & Commissioning (E&C) team provides engineering direction and support during the project planning phase, reviews plans and specification during the design phase, reviews of contractor submittals for mechanical and electrical systems during the construction phase and commissioning support of the building energy management system (EMS). They also maintain various accurate and up to date campus utility systems models. The team provides engineering design services for in-house projects, conducts utility studies, and determines connection fees in support of the capital projects.
Inspection
Our Inspection team provides general (Inspector of Record) and specialty (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) inspection and construction support for all projects executed by DCM. Inspectors are often on the project job site working with our contractors to ensure every project is compliant with code and all contract requirements. They perform constructability reviews during design, assist in answering Request for Information (RFI) requests, conduct submittals reviews and document project activities, as well as oversee the administration of PlanGrid to ensure plans are kept current and accurate in the field. Inspectors coordinate between campus operations departments and contractors to facilitate turnover at the end of construction. During the warranty phase, they provide support if defects arise and help with correcting any issues. Our inspectors currently have an average of 20+ years of construction experience and the team holds a variety of certifications including DSA Class I, ICC Commercial Combo, ICC Mech and Plumbing, ICC Electrical, OSHPD Class A, and ACIA certified Inspector.
